Hi all wanted to ask if on second turbt you have to have catheter in again and have to come home with one again as on my first turbt I was informed I had to go home with it and keep it in for 2 days but after just one day started have bad pains and problems with the catheter and contact hospital where I had my op they couldn’t see me as had no beds so they informed me to contact district nurse she refused to come out to see me so ended up in a&e had to wait for hours like most in a&e these days before it was removed and had a water infection after it was removed so a little worried if I have to have a catheter in again on second one going Thursday xxxx many thanks all mandy
Hi Mandymay . Follow up TURBTs are usually less severe than the first and so less blood. They usually remove the catheter when your pee runs clear. In my follow ups, the catheters were removed after an hour or so. It will depend on what they actually do. I hope it goes well for you > Best wishes.
Hi Mandymay . A follow up is standard procedure, just to double check and get a more accurate diagnosis. In most cases they just take some biopsies to check rather than a full resection like the first. Best wishes.
